I have seen here the repair cost range from $640 to $850.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Some of you may have read my other post regarding the "potential RMS failure". So, I won't elaborate here. I asked for a quote before I bring the car in. The repair cost quoted at $1200. They have offered to kick in $350 to offset the cost which leaves me w/$850. I have seen here the repair cost range from $640 to $850. It appears to me they have over inflated the estimate to make up for their $350 donation. I also asked for a quote to perform a basic PSE install (no vacuum/switches) which came in at $330.
It has been my experience that you end up paying very close to the quote. I don't think they would do the job then bill me $500 if the quote was for $1200.
Am I being overly sensitive or is this a fair price for a C4?
Which dealer in Michigan gave you the quote? I'm also in Michigan and have done business with both Cook and Lavery. Lavery had no Porsche tech for 6-8 weeks because he had a hip replacement. Cook recently replaced their Porsche Service Mgr. as well.
At the current US/Sterling inflation rate I would say that's about right....maybe slightly expensive.
Normally its a full day. 8 hours. I dunno what an hour is in the US but it's about �80
here in the UK (guessing here). = �640.
Saddly, you should also rememebr to cost in the cost of a new clutch too. Labour for clutch replacement is almost exactly the same. Mabe less an hours that's all. So if your clutch goes, think $1100 again!
Best of luck with it
